June Newsletter

We are now well into Q2 with the first half of 2014 quickly drawing to a close.

Much like any year the market has had some challenges yet there has been great momentum built, by in large, across all of the sectors that we operate in; Ad Technology, Ecommerce, Agencies and Publishers.

With businesses growing at a rapid rate, we have seen an ever increasing demand in areas like online analytics and optimisation. As well UX and mobile designers; designers who can develop too are in great demand.

It's an exciting time for young and growing companies. There is a healthy interest from VC's to invest in tech companies and the one's who are doing well have had an excellent performances when they IPO. There have also been some fantastic acquisitions.

Sphere have enjoyed a fantastic first 3 months in our new office. With the team expanding from 10 - 17 staff. As we look toward the second half of the year we are looking forward to continuing to help your business grow.

This month, we have looked into "Native Advertising" - check out our thoughts below.

Is native advertising the next big thing?

The potential of native advertising means it is filling the gap between content marketing and traditional advertising.

In the world flooded with all kinds of content, capturing our attention is becoming ever more difficult - the more exposed we are to any type of messages, the more impervious we become to them. This battle for attention is particularly ferociously fought in digital media, as advertisers are looking into novel ways beyond banner ads to reach a tiny segment of the Internet population that is their intended audience......

Sphere are extremely excited to introduce 2 new members to our growing team.
